The flipped classroom approach
For those who haven’t tried it yet, here’s the idea: instead of introducing new content during class and leaving exercises for homework, students explore the material before class through short videos, readings, or tasks. This frees up class time for active learning: discussions, problem-solving, collaboration, and applying concepts in meaningful ways.
Why it matters for us as teachers:
Class time becomes more student-centered and interactive.
We can give targeted support to students who need it most.
It encourages autonomy and deeper engagement with the material.
Of course, it’s not without challenges: ensuring all students come prepared, designing pre-class tasks that actually work, and balancing guidance with independence can take some trial and error.
I’d love to hear from you:
Have you tried flipping your classroom?
What worked, and what didn’t?
If you haven’t, is it something you’d consider experimenting with?
